The term "hajib" is not to be confused with the word "hijab", which is a headscarf for Muslim women.
A hajib (Arabic: الحاجب / ALA-LC: al-ḥājib) was a government official in Al-Andalus (Spain) and Egypt. They began as treasurers or Chamberlains but by 756, the position had evolved to be equivalent to a vizier or higher.
